In the year 1024 of the Steam Calendar, tensions abruptly abruptly arose in the northern part of the Black Sea. The Hella and the Empire begin to confront each other at the Fortress of Polist. This place is between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean, on the northern shore of the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Canal.

#

The entire fortified defensive line, including the three dock cities of the entire canal, was the domain of the Grand Duke of Dragon's Tooth. And the Grand Duke of Dragon's Tooth, which also belongs to the Northern Legion, is an old family compared to the Gun Flame family. Both the financial resources and the power in the military field of the empire were of the same rank.

Not to mention the mines and farmland in the territory, the money collected by the Mediterranean Canal to tax passing merchant ships in the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Canal alone is enough to be the envy of the Gunflame family, and the financial resources of the Gunflame family are compared to the Dragon's Tooth family, the gap between huskies and rhinoceros.

Of course, it is precisely because the Grand Duke of Dragon's Tooth has too much power in the north that he has the political status of the Gun Flame family for hundreds of years.

In order to prevent the power of this northern powerhouse from furthering, the royal family of St. Sauce of the empire allocated the northern military industry to the Gun Flame family to operate. On the political map of the Empire, the Gunflame Family is a pawn of the Dragon's Tooth Family.

Politics is delicate, and the Saint Saucot family is only a counterweight to the duke, not outright hostile.

The stability of the empire could not be without this powerful northern domain. Otherwise, the northern part of the empire will be pushed forward by the steam rollers of the Hela. The northern territories of the empire will be precarious.

#

The requirements of the imperial family were many.

Therefore, the entire Gun Flame family has been cautious in handling the relationship with the Grand Duke of Dragon's Tooth for hundreds of years.

The Gun Flame family can't get too close to the Grand Duke of Dragon's Tooth, and if it's too close, it will arouse the suspicion of the imperial family.

Gunflame can't have a big conflict with the Grand Duke of Dragon's Tooth, because in the event of a conflict that is not too big or small, the first task of the Empire is to pacify the Grand Duke of Dragon's Tooth. Discipline the Gun Flame Family.

The background of the gunfire is still too thin.

#

In 1024, the situation on the border began to deteriorate

The Gunflame family has found a weather vane from the upper echelons of the Empire.

The work of the Duke of Dragon's Tooth began to be highly cooperative, and the production of various munitions in the steam factory was quickly started, and the operation of steamships was quickly put in place to ensure the supply of materials. There is no shortage of any material. There is not a trace of goods rising in the price of goods in the market.

The St. Sauk Empire was not a capitalist country, and it was normal for merchants to buy low and sell high before the capital monopolized the state, and to raise prices before the war. There are also commercial groups and commercial forces in the Saint Saur Empire, but these commercial groups and commercial forces have not been able to enter the core of power.

These commercial forces belonged to the bamboo rats in front of the imperial aristocracy. Find a reason to reap.

And what impact does the above have on the gun flame core?

You are a noble young master, and you don't think it has much impact on the guns that you study and live on your own.

A few months ago

The main vein system of the family lineage has been built, and after the main vein is completed, the specific new magic lineage can be guided by the family mechanics, and there is no need to suffer harsh eyes from the earl

Every time I saw the count's serious and eternally dissatisfied expression, Gunflame Binghe was always uncomfortable.

When it was confirmed from the Earl, that it was not necessary to be inspected every week, it would only take a month to make a slight confirmation. Gun Flame Binghe felt free, and Binghe felt that he was wrong. Things came to the door

#

Two nights ago, Lord Earl, Gunflame Sifen, called Binghe into the study to start such a conversation.

A large mahogany table and tall bookcase form the standard features of the Earl. The Count was very tall and oppressive, at least to the undergrowth-delayed Bunclei. Bingnu's body sitting in the chair stiffened and maintained a sitting posture.

The earl looked at Binghe's gaze very oppressively, and his tone was very light but full of unquestioning attitude: "In a few days, I have decided to send you to the Imperial Capital Mechanical Tower to study." I've got in touch with your mentor. He will be responsible for monitoring the growth of your lineage subsystem."

Binghe paused, then nodded. However, I was secretly happy in my heart, and I went out to study far away, which is a feeling of freedom. However, it was not long before the Earl's put a lead ball on Binghe's heart.

Sifen: "Liyun will go with you." She has a lot of talent. ”

Binghe's eyes were distracted.

Speaking of this, Count Sifen glanced at Binghe, and said in a shallow tone of disappointment: "I have high expectations for you, but your performance is very unsatisfactory, I hope that when you are in the imperial capital, you can arrange the subsystems neatly on the main vein, I don't have high standards for you, the profession of mechanical controller, if you can't do it, then forget it, but the profession of high-level mechanic must be achieved." ”

Facing the Earl's disappointed gaze, Binghe showed shame on his face - in the past few months, Binghe has been obsessed with the exploration of his original magic lineage, and after completing the main line, he has been very absent-minded about the laying of the subsystem. Binghe knew that his unscrupulous behavior had made him have a very low rating in the eyes of the earl.

Seeing Binghe's expression, Si Fen said, "When you are in the imperial capital, pay attention to your connections. By the way, your train is the same as the daughter of the imperial capital sent by the Grand Duke of Dragon's Tooth this time. ”

When Binghe heard this, he suddenly understood what he was sending to the imperial capital this time, another reason. On the earth, there are various high-class drinking and high salons in the exchange between business groups and business groups, and everyone builds tacit understanding with each other through this kind of socialization. This was the case with the cooperation and communication between the families of the nobility.

The communication between the Gun Flame Family and the Dragon Tooth Family has always been close, after all, one is a northern military noble, and the other is a military nobleman. However, due to the political situation, the two sides can only maintain a short distance.

The two parties have also been in contact with each other before, and of course both parties know this connection in their hearts.

If the person who inherits the title completes the marriage with another family, it means that the two families are very closely connected. Of course, now it seems that anyone with a discerning eye can see that Binghe cannot inherit the title.

Therefore, the contact between Binghe, who represents the lineage, and the dragon tooth celebrity, and the celebrity introduces her girlfriend to Binghe, which is a gesture of the Gun Flame family. And Liyun may be the same purpose.

It's just that in the brick throwing, Binghe is the brick, which can be directly decided by the introduction of the Dragon Tooth Family. Liyun belongs to Yinyu, and the person selected by Liyun is strictly reviewed by the family.

#

After analyzing this cause and effect, Binghe was very helpless.

Because he seems to be another smart person, he also understands this reason, and he has been facing Binghe with a mocking smile on his face for the past few days. Binghe, who felt bored, felt very annoyed.

This smart person is Liyun, who has threatened to marry a good family (drive out of the house) countless times in the past two years. In the end, for the sake of the family's interests, he took the first step. Binghe felt that he had lost a big bit.

###

At this time, the steam train is waiting on the platform of the train

"Ahh

At the railway station, Binghe yawned and wrapped himself in a fur coat. When I woke up at three o'clock in the morning, I was very sleepy.

And at this time

Liyun was keenly aware of Binghe's yawn. Immediately ran over and said in a low tone: "As a family representative, you should always pay attention to your image, although I understand your feelings. But I must remind you that you have to put the interests of the family first. ”

Binghe glanced at the little girl in front of him, and said lightly: "Do you understand my feelings?" Just you? I've always admired Miss Phil, you know? ”

Binghe straightened his chest and said as if he knew everything: "For me, if you represent the mottled oil stains in the gutter, then she is a pure white and flawless crystal flower. I'm bored with you around me, and I'm not sleepy just now, I'm closing my eyes and thinking about how to eulogize my goddess. ”

Binghe sneered: "No matter what that Miss Fei'er looks like, she must not be deflated in front of you." ”

Sure enough, Binghe successfully bluffed the little girl, and Liyun said a little forcefully: "You are nonsense, you only got the news from your grandfather three days ago." ”

Binghe shook his finger angrily, revealing the look of "You are a child, you don't understand anything" and said: "

Three days ago, my father granted my request to take these two. My dear niece, your uncle and I don't know how much smarter than you are here. In order to prevent you from making trouble for me, I have been pretending to sigh and confuse you. And now that I'm out of the house, the big picture has been decided. (forked waist) hahaha,"

I saw the liyun puffing back to my seat.

Binghe secretly said to himself: "I like to bully people so much, it's really a bad taste, but in life, the important thing is to be happy!" ”

#

Toot toot. The train entered the platform, and Binghe immediately jumped up and walked into the train with a swagger. was about to walk towards his carriage, but the chill happened, and Liyun, who was originally persuaded to stay away from him, quickly followed with small steps.

Li Yun said in a questioning tone behind Binghe: "Aren't you in a hurry to sing the praises." How do I walk towards the rear compartment? Suddenly, he said excitedly: "Oh, I see, you are just complaining in the air, and you don't dare to face the cooing worm." (In the summer, insects in the grass scream loudly, but they stop when you walk in, so it is used to describe some people in this world.) ）

Binghe's face darkened.

A few minutes later, Binghe in the carriage saw the dragon, the daughter of Kofi. This male daughter is slim and twelve years old, according to the data. But now with a veil. Blue and white long dress. White boots with jewels on them.

Binghe sensed the scrutinizing gaze behind him, took a deep breath, and began the performance of chasing ducks to the shelves.

Bing walked in front of the male daughter, when the guards were about to stop him

Binghe knelt down on one knee and praised loudly: "The goddess of my dreams, thank you to the gods, for finally allowing me to see your face that has tarnished the sun." Your voice is as beautiful as crystal, please allow me to stand by your side, sword in my hand, and watch over you forever. ”

Silence, an embarrassing silence for ten seconds, in the silence, Binghe's embarrassment was all cold sweat.

#

However, then, the veiled princess asked in a hesitant voice, "Excuse me, who are you?" ”

"Goo-dong" Binghe swallowed, and the sound of the door closing softly behind him was heard. Like a stranger in the wrong room, Liyun left the scene.

#

And Binghe raised his head and smiled dryly: "That, that, the line just now is, I copied it, I'm a person, I don't know how to say hello, you think the opening remarks are wrong, you forget it." ”

The sound of "whirring" and inhaling came from the surroundings one after another. It was the knight who was holding back the smile of the figure around the original guard, as well as the maid who tried to keep the face serious.

Although the male daughter sitting on the chair could not see her expression, her heaving chest showed that she was laughing, and after a while, the female tried to suppress her smile and tried to maintain her seriousness, and said: "Your Excellency, as a nobleman, you are responsible for your words. made a promise to protect with a sword, how can you easily break your word, are you insulting glory? ”

The knight who was originally guarding on the side stepped forward and drew his sword slightly. This is a posture in preparation for a duel. But there was a playful smile on his face.

Binghe paused, immediately waved his hand and said, "How come?" How so? It is my privilege to be your Guardian Knight. Binghe scolded secretly: "Damn, why every time I talk to that dead girl, my intelligence is halved." ”
